Moths

Once again I saw the moon behind the clouds

I try to call out to the stars

And once again

I realize that there is no one waiting for me

There is no place that would accept me

How long do I have to run

Before the night ends

Could this be there is all to life

Does it feel good to lie awake at night

In the black casket just staring up at the sky

And I hear some voices moaning

But turns out it was just the wind

I'm left alone again

Why are there only black moths perching on my hands

Once again I saw the red moon in the sky

I saw a white star fades out

Everynight

I wait and wonder if sleep will come

To these heavy eyes of mine

How long do I have to watch

Till these eyes close

Could this be there is all to life

Midnight Never Ends

Combing your silky hair in front of the mirror

Placing down the comb, putting on a mask

You walked gracefully into the ballroom

With that person at your side

Yes, that's how it is

Your life

Is like a masquerade

When you are there

Your laughter is prettier

Than the tinkling of bells

With that velvety scent

Drawing people towards you

You await them with that gesture, with that smile

Your hand held out welcoming

You're an idol, a very beautiful one

Everytime you dance

Stars bloom one by one

The moment you stare into people's eyes

They'll be at loss for words

The moment you gaze from the corner of your eyes

People melt, not a shred of conscious left

Will you remember

That carefree life you lead

As soon as you fall asleep?

Because at midnight

That nightmare will begin

Every night, every midnight

A long, long dream

Without anyone you recognize

A lonely world

Although you retain that charm

You can no longer poise gracefully

If you do, they'll take advantage of it

That fragrance of yours

And you'll be left smeared in black

Crouching in a corner, crying

With fake saviours all around

How can you afford to stand?

But you kept on rising

Till you can bear it no more

A dream that's longer than reality

Why should it exist?

On nights when no stars are visible

You ask to yourself again and again

You cry unseen tears

When you think no one's looking

You didn't see that hidden figure

Beneath the shadows, behind the trees

That person watching your sufferings

But se couldn't reach out a hand to help

Whenever se calls out to you

You'd respond with a smile

Out of confusion, you created that barrier

Repelling those who tried to help you

Do you hear that person's cry

As se regrets hes inability to save you?

Will you stop those remarks

About the fate of a traveler?

Don't you want the nightmare to end?

Or are you better off alone?

On top of a canyon

Shooting stars can be seen

The starry sky spread out wide

A universe

There you were, with the persons that you love

Who you would throw away your life for

At times like that, you'd love to forget

The terrible nightmare haunting your sleeps

The starry sky

Is an infinite times better than sunset

You who fell in love with the starry sky

You whose lover's name is the night sky

Do you remember?

Who created the night sky

Once again the nightmare begins

The darkness slices open your heart

Everytime you sleep

It is painful, too painful

But you've finally realized

Even in there, you are never alone

The same night sky

The same creator

Someone still cares

As morning rays pierce through the clouds

The long nightmare takes a break

It will start again

It will not stop just yet

You sat in deep thoughts

Remembering the tears that person shed

You tried to hide your sufferings

But to no avail

Despite your cool attitude and naughty grins

They saw the pain in your eyes everytime the sun sets

You ran to where the stars play everynight

Because you cannot sleep

Do you think no one knows about it?

You don't like it when that person cries

It is your fault and you know it

You hold knowledge about darkness

You bear missions darker than darkness

No matter what, you don't wish

For your beloved companions to get involved

Thus you'll take down the barrier

Let that person help by being the weak one

And cry on hes shoulders when you're dying inside

You are still a traveler

But your strength comes from someone greater

Someone who will be by your side

For eternity

Lights, Camera, Action

I do not understand

What it feels like to be a star

I've never been one myself

And will never be for real

They told me don't

Whether realizing it or not

That is what they conveyed to me

That is their message

Like a song I once heard

A world full of lies

Just waiting to be added more and more

To this world where nobody cares

Lies are exquisite

People live in dreams

To this little traveler

Lies are but absolute evil

That world where everything's so beautiful

When behind it lie tears and blood

People know, yet people cherish

Is it imbecility? I don't think so

People are just tired

Too tired of reality

I've seen and known people who tried to escape

Away from reality because it hurts

But it won't do no good

Alas I only managed to assure myself

Again I watch as idols dance on stage

With their make-up smeared smiles

And gears that make them sweat heavily inside

All the way just for the audience

It's true affection they say

I've seen, I've felt

The feelings of idols, though I'm not part of them

Because I'm THE traveler

I don't need a mind reading prox

Or a prox with visions

What's in front of me tells me

The things they're hiding

They told me of their terrible lives

Of the things they had to endure

They complained of being unable to be

Who they naturally tend to be

Of the life-long acting on their shoulders

Of the fake smiles and broken hearts

They told me through their twinkling eyes

That there is more than is shown

Behind the scene of 'behind the scene'

There is nothing but shattered souls

Hollow Black

This fear I have

Of that prayer coming true

Lies before my eyes

A scene never seen

A hundred years pass

Soon another hundred

In the blink of an eye

I lost the hope to trust

Don't die on me friend

In a cold metal world

There I sat staring

Looking at the moon

That used to be so small

As I continue this life

Forever waiting

Waiting for

The angel of death that never came to see me

But one by one

Like flowers in the wind

My friends wilt away

Leaving another scar

Again and over again

People meet and love each other

But how am I supposed

To give strength

To this wounded soul

When whenever I see someone

I see written in red

The day se will die

And I still remember

The day when the last person

Among those I used to know

Grows old and dies

A summer hotter than before

A winter colder than usual

Hearts that grow colder

A body that stays rejuvenated

There was once a time

When I prayed for a long life

Never expected it to come true

Nor to be this painful

I was there when the last civillians died

Watching judgement day pass by

I stood between hell and heaven

And finally realized

That I'm alone

As the sun rises

Back to the time

A hundred centuries ago

I wake up from a long, long sleep

And hope

For it to stay a dream

Grasping The Unseen

That fragrance

I've smelled it before

A far away memory

Lying awake at night

Listening to silence

I feel the fragrance close by

So close in my grasp

How should I describe

This feeling of eternity

Night gets darker

As clouds block the moonlight

A peaceful sound

Plays in my ears

I try to recollect

Remember a lost scenery

A secret hidden

Deep within

Holding tight

To what's keeping me real

I've seen it before

I've known it before

The serenade

And tranquility

Ghouls Of Memories

Is it good to forget?

Is it easy to forget?

I wonder which is it

Always treasuring my memories

Every part of it

Where my companions are always with me

I want to understand

Why did se decide to forget

No, se didn't just forgot

I know

Se just doesn't want to remember

"Eventhough I will lose my memories,

I won't forget what I learnt each time"

Hes very words

I didn't understand at first

Nor do I now

I want to know

What are the reasons

Behind those tears?

I tried to understand

Why se wakes up at midnight

And cries alone

Never have I seen

Such a weak feature of hem

Se has given me strength

I want to be hes strength now

If I had such experiences

Would I do the same?

Or maybe I'd just keep pitying myself

Is it good to forget?

Is it easy to forget?

Is it because se's forgotten

That se is what se is now?

Does that mean I have to forget

To achieve such level?

But still I can't afford

To lose what I remember

The smiling faces of my companions

The fun we had together

Even the great destruction

But most of all

I don't want to forget

Every single moment with hem

It hurts when I watch hem cry

I'm glad I'm able to comfort

It hurts too much I can't help

It hurts even more seeing hem crumble in my hands

I didn't see with my own eyes

Hes tears gleaming under the moonlight

But I know

Out there

Se is hurt

Is it good to forget?

No good

Because I can't help with anything

Is it easy to forget?

It's easy

But it's no good either

Souls of forgotten memories

Will return and haunt

It's no good!!

Just stop it already

Stop making hem cry!

Memories, whoever you are

I will crush you

I will find you

And put an end to you myself

Emerald Clock

The feelings in us

Of half despair and fear

Throbbing, beating furiously

Flowing tears overtake the sea

Wind blows, shaking the palm trees

Shells washed onto the seashore

Sparkling under the starry sky

Wavers in the distance

Hot tears can’t be stopped

Those who chase mortality

Become waves

And wash us away

Hear the song of the sea

The last melody

Sadness it's always with me

I'm depending on you to save me

This is what I always wanted to ask

Why didn't I cry when I got far from you?

Even though I love you too much?

In the light rain under the night sky

A thousand questions swirl and swirl

I'm losing your hand in the waves

Can I find it back?

All my life, I live for you

Unlike straight bamboo poles

I fall

And washed away

Hear the wind whistling

The last rhythm

It dances, it ballets, the feeling

Wait for me, I'm hoping

I can't swim on my own

Can I find your hand in the darkness?

Don't say it’s over

Unconsciously chained myself to the floor

I can only wait no matter how long

For you to break me free

Certainly I haven't been obedient

Please forgive me for that

One more chance
